King's College London[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I believe it has the potential to become a GA. It has undergone major changes since the last nominations in 2007-08. I look forward to constructive suggestions and remarks which can help take this article towards a GA.

Thanks very much, Merlaysamuel :  Speechify  08:48, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brianboulton comments: This nomination for peer review looks premature. There is basic work to be done before it is ready, in particular:

  • The lead is supposed to be a broad summary of the contents of the article, not a collection of facts. The detailed statistical information should be given in the body of the article, and cited there.
  • The History section looks thin and incomplete.
  • The article is seriously under-referenced. The "Campus" section has scarely any references, and other sections e.g. History, have many uncited statements
  • Nearly all the sources are online. What steps have been taken to research literature (books, articles etc) that might deal objectively with aspects of the College?
  • In addition, the article appears to be overdependent on sources belonging to Kings College itself.
  • Reference formatting requires standardising, and there is at least one dead link
  • The prose does not look well organised, with rather too many single-sentence paragraphs.

I think you need to study one of the "College" articles that has made it to GA, and see if you can work up this one to that standard. I reommend Jesus College, Oxford. Brianboulton (talk) 00:22, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestions Brianboulton. I will take them one by one and work on it. Many thanks.--Merlaysamuel :  Speechify  10:11, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
